GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 21st. May, 1914.
D.
With reference to paragraph 8 of Sir F.
Lugard's Despatch No. 390 of the 16th. November, 1911, and to
enclosure No. 8 contained therein, I have the honour to refer for
your approval the particulars contained in the enclosed copy of a memorandum from the Director of Public Works of a proposed exchange
of property in the Sham Shui Po District for an equivalent area of
Crown Land in the vicinity.
2.
As the property consists of (a) Building lota
shewn in blue in the attached plan, (b) Agricultural lots shewn in
yellow, and (c) Superstructures on the area coloured green, I
attach a table shewing the total valuation expressed in terms of
land for purposes of exchange. It will be seen that the area of
Crown Land to be granted which is shewn coloured red is within a
very close approximation the equivalent of the property to be
resumed, the excess only amounting to 18.5 square feet.
3.
My object in promoting the exchange is to facilitate a proposed laying-out scheme for the Sham Shui Po
District, as shewn on the plan herein, with which the existing lots
interfere, and I propose subject to your sanction, in this, and in
similar cases likely to arise in the near future in connection
with the scheme, to effect if possible exchanges of Crown Land
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,
